HP has announced the new HP StorageWorks All-in-One (AiO) Storage Systems, which delivers simple, application-centric storage management, reliable data protection and affordable data storage.

Using the systems, small and medium businesses (SMBs) with limited or no storage expertise are able to store, share, manage, back up and protect their rapidly growing application and file data in a flexible network storage environment.

“With these systems, HP is now the benchmark for storage solutions for SMBs,” said Bob Schultz, senior vice president and general manager, StorageWorks Division, HP.

“Developed from the ground up to address the specific problems SMBs face, the HP All-in-One Storage Systems deliver functionality without the complexity of competing offerings.”

The HP AiO Storage Systems handle all storage tasks and are accessed via an easy-to-use graphical interface, saving administrators time and providing newfound levels of control.

The systems are specifically designed for managing storage in Microsoft® environments, including point-and-click tools for working with Microsoft Exchange and SQL Server.
